Jesus was dead and buried; his life was finished and done with. No rhythm of nature, no innate capacity for humanness, could return him from the grave.
The Pestilence that Stalks in Darkness: God and Covid-19
Is COVID-19 God’s punishment for gay marriage and abortion? Perry Stone, a Cleveland televangelist thinks so. Or maybe, with Billy Prewitt, author of The Coronavirus in Biblical Prophecy, you see the pandemic as God’s response to the persecution of Christians. A.Q.

This is the perfect time to make Curtis Flowers a free man
Fitch must decide whether she wants to walk away from this mess now (when her decision will be buried on page B16) or wait until the pandemic is old news and reporters are prowling for a hot story?
Beyond Heaven and Hell: Preaching Hope to Children of Dust
One day, I tell my patients, God is going to straighten everything that’s crooked, mend everything that’s broken, heal everything that’s sick and wipe every tear from our eyes. When I say it, their eyes light up. Only then do I believe it.

I will be writing more about this amazing story a bit later, but this NYT treatment will fill in the details. Curtis has been incarcerated for twenty-three years, most of that time on death row in Mississippi’s notorious Parchman prison. He has been tried six times with two trials ending in hung juries and four others being reversed on appeal.

Curtis has also received incredible legal representation, the kind that can make the most of the evidence In the Dark produced.
And now, miraculously, Curtis is home with his family!
